Appl. No.:

10/003947

Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA

International Classification:

H04N005/74

US Classification:

348756, 353 31, 349 9, 359216

Abstract:

A projection display system. The projection system includes a light source, illumination optics that are capable of splitting the light from the source into individual color bands, and folding mirrors. The folding mirrors operate to direct the color bands to a reflective element that has a contoured surface. The contoured surface of the reflective element causes the light to form into scanning rasters that are recombined and sent to a spatial light modulator. The spatial light modulator is typically made up of a panel of individually addressable elements. If the spatial light modulator requires polarized light, a polarizing beam splitter and quarter-wave plate are included as part of the illumination optics.

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600372, 600391, 600514, 600528

Abstract:

A combined audio and electrical anatomy-signal sensor which is designed to collect, essentially from a selected, common anatomical site, related audio and electrical anatomical signals, such as heart-produced signals. The sensor includes a unique body structure which is designed to function both as a part of the audio-information gathering structure, and as a part of electrical electrode structure for gathering electrical signals. Chamber space is provided within this body for receiving and containing desired electrical circuitry, in the form of circuit-board-supported electrical components, which may be designed to perform any one of a number of different functions relative to signal gathering and transferring at and from an anatomical site. The presence of such circuitry within the body of the proposed sensor enables use of the sensor for specialized signal gathering and processing purposes, under circumstances which can obviate the need for various, special retro-modifications of existing, external, signal-monitoring apparatus.

International Classification:

G03B 17/04

US Classification:

396542, 396348

Abstract:

An apparatus, with moving parts, having a flexible circuit configured such that its fatigue life is enhanced. The apparatus includes a first component, a second component, and a positioning mechanism between the first component and the second component. The positioning mechanism enables movement of the first component and the second component between at least a proximate position and a spaced-apart position. Also included between the first component and the second component is a flexible circuit that has a first end coupled to the first component and a second end coupled to the second component. The flexible circuit is configured as a compliant spring that can extend and collapse in a predefined shape when the components are spaced-apart and proximate, respectively.

International Classification:

H01R004/48

US Classification:

439/729000

Abstract:

A coupler-adapter which is employable in an anatomical signal path that extends between an anatomical signal sensor, such as an ECG electrical sensor, including one which may also be designed to collect audio information, and external signal-reception structure. The couple-adapter includes body structure which may be directly connected to such a sensor, and which includes plural sensor reception regions that are configured to receive and accommodate, mechanically and electrically, plural different types of such sensors.

Assignee:

Inovise Medical, Inc.

International Classification:

A61B005/04

US Classification:

600/513000, 600/528000

Abstract:

A releasably interconnectible, signal-communicative interface between an anatomical signal sensor and an associated receiving coupler-adapter. Through complementary male and female interconnection structures, this interface is designed to accommodate both a mechanical, and an electrical, releasably locked cross-connection between such a sensor and a coupler-adapter. Spring-biased cam-interengaging interface components, including a cam surface on the sensor, and a pair of relatively moveable opposed clamping arms on the coupler-adapter operate, during the act of connection, to draw a sensor projection into a connected condition within a socket provided in the coupler-adapter. A springy, electrically conductive component in the adapter plays both mechanical and electrical roles in relation to operation of the interface.

Abstract:

A sensor system for the combined, simultaneous, common-axis collection of heart-produced acoustical and electrical signals. The system includes (a) a hollow-interior body of revolution possessing an axis of revolution which is substantially coincident with the common signal-collection axis, (b) an electrode structure mounted on the outside of the body and disposed symmetrically with respect to the signal-collection axis, (c) a sound transducer disposed within the interior of the body, substantially centered on the signal-collection axis, (d) a cushion of revolution circumsurrounding and supporting the transducer within the body in a manner which substantially isolates the sound transducer from spurious noise events, and (e) an anatomy-adhereable acoustic membrane, disposed in the path for sound collection to act as a mechanical anatomy-to sensor impedance-matching coupler assisting in sound-signal collection.
